Answer

$T=\pi \sqrt{\frac{2L(m_1+m_2)}{g(m_1-m_2)}}$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required time period as follows: $T=2\pi (\frac{l}{g})(\frac{I}{ml^2})$ $\implies T=2\pi (\sqrt{\frac{L(m_1-m_2)}{2g(m_1+m_2)}})(\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_1-m_2})$ This simplifies to: $\implies T=\pi \sqrt{\frac{2L(m_1+m_2)}{g(m_1-m_2)}}$
